Cascades Frog
This little fellow was in Lake of the Angles in the Olympic Mountains. This lake is high enough that it contains no fish, trout stocking being one reason these little guys are in decline, especially in California. They often live and breed in seasonal pools, and the tadpoles can be stranded if it is too warm or too dry, but this lake is big enough that it won't disappear, even in a year with as little snowfall as this one, so these guys should be in pretty good shape.

The Cascades frog is a species of frog in the Ranidae family found in the western United States and possibly Canada, mainly in the Cascade Range and Olympic Mountains.
